Watch this space, if it doesn't sell (I don't care either way if it sells) I may well lower it then supercharge it that may tempt me to use it a bit more.

Mr and Mrs who? par for the course. Although it is a dumb thing to do.

Some have been through Pistonheafd with the members name so they are genuine. As you say dealers I had a lot of wasted time last time I advertised it which is why I put ‘no dealers or other time wasters please ‘ in the advert

I've had quite a few offers of £35K and have politely guided them to earlier cars for their sort of budget. My polite way of saying **** off

No I think the car looks best as a complete deal. I’ve already had an offer of £39K but it’s far too soon to accept, not sure how wise that is but we will see. Like I say it just doesn’t get used, everywhere I go I get compliments about it even hatchet faced youths in corsa’s give me the thumbs up and my passengers say literally every other car that passes on the motorway takes a photo. I just hope that relates to someone buying it

The best looking one on Autrader obviously

Just thought I'd let you guys know I've put my Lexus up for sale. on Autotrader I just don't use it I expect it will have only done about 1000 miles this year.

Spot on, I've got a K&N in my Mini it uses the existing airbox so no heat soak. It's been in there for about 3 years now and I just give it a clean and oil once a year. Sounds nice too.

One of my favourites from the past.

True, also with it being from Lexus it will always work and if it doesn't will be more than likely covered by warranty. Something that can be rarely applied to many other marques.

I agree the TVD is one of those nice to have options that you'd never tick when ordering new, but as a secondhand extra that doesn't have any influence on the retail value of the car it's a no brainer.

I assume it has air suspension and it lowers to that level once parked. Or at least I hope so.

I spotted a rather nice looking modified dark red LS with gold coloured wheels this morning driving into Morrisons this morning.

Like you I've been a big Fallout and Oblivion fan, still like Skyrim and Fallout 4 too. Fallout 76 showed how to get it wrong. As well as a guitar collector I also collect watches and pens and bought the Brotherhood of Steel watch for not very much money at the time I was very surprised to see its value on e-bay these days

No, they are more expensive than standard pads, if mine were anything to go by at 25,000 miles when I sold the car the pads were only about 1/3rd worn. So the whole package is better. There is one further thing to be cautious of, the cars come equipped with extended wheel bolt shafts because they can be easily chipped and ruined by careless handling so tyre replacement needs to be left to a very responsible set up. Obviously you fit one once the standard wheel bolt has been removed. This also opens up my favourite pet hate about Porsche car salesman, when my friend was specifying his new Caymen the salesman said 'are you likely to want to track your car', he said yes and was told he should have Carbon Ceramics. At which point I mentioned that if by any chance you left the track and hit the kitty litter/small stones trackside you could completely ruin your discs which is a fact. Most of the die-hard track guys I met with 911 track weapons all changed their Carbon Ceramics for steel discs for this reason alone. The other big plus point is absolutely no brake dust so if you have fancy silver coloured wheels they stay clean.

On a lightish car they are good for 100,000+ miles, As I mentioned I would never pay the extra to have them on a new car although some have them as standard. I would always buy low mileage secondhand car with them, interestingly enough the guy I bought my Boxster from said a lot of people were put off by them and the car was no more expensive than similar condition cars, just goes to show how uniformed most people are over them.

And I forgot to mention the cost of warranties on other marques engines that are prone to these failures and it can never be guaranteed they would do anything about it. For instance N/A V8 AMG headbolt corrosion that could lead to the car getting hydro-locked (rare I know) Porsche flat six bore scoring issues, I speak from experience but did not suffer either these two well known issues with my cars, but it was always in the back of my mind and effected ownership joy. Also, I paid Mercedes £1500 a year for my SL and Porsche £900 for peace of mind. I know I'm beginning to sound a bit like a Lexus RCF fan-boy but quite honestly it's a pretty good car from all angles. I even landed up not buying a 720S and keeping the RCF, but that's another long story that I won't bore people with.

I must admit of all the cars I've had, I enjoy the N/A cars more. I had a very interesting day at MB World many years ago, I had booked myself into the 4 hour intensive drivers course (they no longer do these) because I'd just bought a SL63 N/A and I wanted to see how the car performed pushing it on a closed circuit rather than the road. When I turned up I was expecting a N/A SL63 but they had one of the all singing dancing new twin turbo SL63's. Had a great day being instructed by one of the AMG GT3 team drivers (how was that for luck) it was brutal instant brute force that I loved. Anyway despite doing hundreds of track days I came away having learnt a lot. But on the drive home it was very revealing to me, at first I thought where's the power in my N/A SL63 it seemed almost dead compared to the instant power I'd been used to for the last 4 hours. But then after a bit of time I reverted back to N/A engine driving and quite frankly it was almost an epiphany where you just enjoyed ringing the N/A engines throat. My flat 6 Porsche was exactly the same although I felt that was a bit long geared but I just loved revving it out. One of the reasons I keep my RCF is the fact you can rev the engine as much as you like and it never seems to complain.

Carbon Ceramic brakes are fantastic, on a light car they really do make a difference all round unsprung weight and be able to brake later and harder without boiling your fluid is a plus. they are never worth the extra on a new car but are a bargain on a low mileage secondhand car. as to whether a car as heavy as the RCF would benefit I really have my doubts

Not that the RCF is a turd but if it was the TE is a polished turd.

No, the last time I saw it it was draped in scantily clad young ladies at the central display at Japfest. I must have come across as a bit strange because I ignored the girls and was more interested in my old car

I spent a fortune on it with engine re-builds, suspension upgrades etc. I kept with twin turbos that were uprated as I felt the big single turbo was a bit unsubtle with the power delivery. It was at Castle Coombe that I realised It needed a front V Mount to keep it cooler as it got a bit too hot going round the circuit. For Japanese car lovers it's heaven.

Many moons ago when it was held at Castle Coombe you could take your car round the track, there were excellent displays on track in fact loads of things going on. I took my RX7 round the track a few times. In those days there was always a Police checkpoint on the road out checking number plates, caught a lot of them if I remember correctly. I had a very small front number plate that read H1 RXT which I'd altered slightly to read Hi RX7 (juvenile I know) I got away with it because the small number plate was a moulded in feature of the car but it did waste a lot of time grovelling.

Thanks, I'll check to see if I can make this

What are the dates for this?
